Stan
- Stan: It wouldn't hurt if you filled me in a little bit once in a while. Did you ever think of that?
- Harry Caul: It has nothing to do with me, and even less to do with you.
- Stan: It's curiosity! Did you ever hear of that? It's just goddamn human nature.
- Harry Caul: Listen, if there's one sure-fire rule that I have learned in this business is that I don't know anything about human nature. I don't know anything about curiosity. That's not part of what I do.
- Stan: Who's interested in these two anyway?
- Harry Caul: I don't know for sure.
- Stan: The Justice Department?
- Harry Caul: No.
- Stan: I figure it must be the Infernal Revenue. Their tapes always put me to sleep.
- Harry Caul: Since when are you here to be entertained?
- Stan: What have we here? Okay, come on, you little babies, now, wet your lips there. Give me some tongue. Just give me a little tongue there. Come on. Come on, just a little tongue outside. A nice, wet French kiss now. Come on, a nice wet one there.
- Stan: Sometimes it's nice to know what they're talking about.
- Harry Caul: I don't care what they're talking about. All I want is a nice, fat recording.
- Harry Caul: I'm getting fed up.
- Stan: About what?
- Harry Caul: About your asking me questions all day long.
